  • Patent number: 11213908
    Abstract: The wire feeding device that feeds welding wire W from the wire source to the welding torch is disposed between the wire source and the welding torch and is configured to temporarily accommodate the welding wire W fed from the wire source and to feed the accommodated welding wire W to the welding torch. In the case where feeding of welding wire W is abnormally stopped, if the acceptance unit accepts instructions for increasing or decreasing, the wire feeding device controls the speed of feeding welding wire W fed by the first feeding part or the second feeding part so that a difference is generated in the feeding speed of the first feeding part and the second feeding part and the accommodated amount of welding wire W is in a range from the lower limit of normal to an upper limit of normal.

  • Patent number: 9229584
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the provision of an information input apparatus that can change the projection position of an input image by tracking a target object and can detect an information input to the input image. More specifically, the invention provides an information input apparatus includes a projection unit which projects an input image, a projection position changing unit which changes the projection position of the input image, a detection sensor which detects the position of a detection target, and an information detection unit which causes the projection position changing unit to change the projection position of the input image by tracking the position of the detection target detected by the detection sensor, and which detects an information input to the input image based on data supplied from the detection sensor.
